I caught a tagged striper a few years ago. I carefully measured the fish and released it. After sending in the info, I got a hat and document showing the fish's length when it was tagged. Turns out it was an inch "longer" when it was tagged the previous year than when I caught it.

Somebody messed up.

	Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn.
